Organ

120. In the Latin Church the pipe organ is to be held in high esteem, for it is the traditional musical instrument which adds a wonderful splendor to the Church’s ceremonies and powerfully lifts up man’s mind to God and to higher things. – Constitution on Sacred Liturgy, 1963

The Organ in Liturgy

In keeping with Church doctrine and tradition, St. Anthony of Padua is home to an Allen CF-4 electronic organ. Donated by a parishioner shortly after the Worship Hall opened, the organ is used to accompany music at our Sunday liturgies as well as other special events that happen in the parish. Due to its rich overtones, the organ, unlike the piano is the instrument best suited to fulfill the need of support for the singing assembly.

Demonstrations of the organ are available. Please call the parish office for more information.
